More Powa !!!

Wassup Fit Oweners, I have a question... I want to add some power to my 1.5L Engine, thinking of going Bolt ons, I dont want Boost, I have my 09 Si Boosted.... I Just want to make it more fun then it already is...But the question is, where do I find all those parts besides Ebay? I cant find headers exhaust etc... Is there a website you guys use?

I'm assuming you're '09+

there isn't much. a few intakes, one might make power. exhausts don't do a ton either.

best bet is handling mods and removing weight.

the header is integrated into the head, you can't change it.

there is no "chip" or flash for the ecu in your car yet. no eta.

spoon has an intake manifold BUT i think that it's just a different color from stock but same dimensions.

best power mods i can think of right now are to add "lightness" go lighter wheels/tires. find ways to cut weight from the vehicle.

unless you want to put it on a bottle or a blower.

you could go for a mild shot of nitrous, given the light weight it'd do a lot for the car.

my local shops in the area that had nitrous all closed...

one thing to get a kit installed, another is where to replenish the bottles.

Heres it on the website and ajr supplies alot of parts for the GE8 so would think that their website is reliable when it comes to fitment

A&J Racing :: Exhaust :: T1R Response Header - Honda Fit 09+ (GE8)

and a video of it installed

Been dyno'd to make power (: but the stupid thing with the fit is that the ecu will detune itself to save fuel... so you can add a ton of bolt ons but without a piggyback or reflash of some sort your car wont actually "gain" any HP.... or so i believe i could be wrong in this

I think the ECU can correct to a degree so it won't be OEM power but it will not be the best gains. Hopefully hondata will come out with a flashpro for the GE guys soon. When that happens the tuning world will really open up for you guys

in the mean time, can't it be cheated with old school tricks like piggybacks?

Quality intake and quality full exhaust was enough for 19whp according to T1R

Weapon R cat delete piping is not only cheaper but only dynos around 1hp less.


Either way, its the GE8, you are gonna be spending a lot of money for minimal gain.

While 19 more whp sounds fun, I ran a 16.8 pretty much stock. An extra 19whp is only gonna push me around a 16.2 or 16.3

Not worth it to me. Ill just go turbo when Hondata gets off its fat ass and makes us a Flashpro. The lazy tards only need to slightly modify the CRZ flashpro, but oh no, too hard for them.
